It's been a successful term. We would like to congratulate Clark, Cameron, Coleman, and Niquana for passing their PhD qualifier exams and Kristyn for her successful PhD dissertation proposal . We also wish Mackenzie every success as he moves on from his postdoc at UVA to his new position at ORNL. Congratulations to Alex for her 2nd place award in the undergraduate category for the Dean's First Annual Research Art Contest. Finally we welcome Morgan to our group as a new undergraduate researcher.
